71. Enrico
Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to ruin my honeymoon by doubting George but it seemed like he was hiding something from me.Whoever Enrico was, it seemed like he was someone I wasn’t supposed to know about. George was acting pretty sneaky about the call. I knew he had only one friend, Charles and I knew most of his business associates as I used to be his secretary.Even if he formed alliances with new people, he wouldn’t be so secretive about it. If it was a business call, he would have excused himself and taken it. Throughout our time in Hawaii, Enrico had called a few times, aside from the time at the seafood restaurant, but George never took his call around me.However, I decided not to talk about it. If he was hiding something from me, he probably had a good reason for doing so. Even before we got married, he was very transparent. I doubted things would change just because we finally confessed to each other and had rings on our marriage fingers.The last three days had been a blas

72. Pretty bold
George Galanti~•~Enrico was an asshole. I knew that. He knew that too.I gritted my teeth to hold back my words. He might be an annoying man but the power he held was crazy. He and his organization had connections all over the world, which was how they didn’t get in trouble even if they did illegal things.I looked at Abigail who seemed curious about the man in front of us and sighed. I brought out the keycard from my pocket and handed it to her. “You can go inside first.”She frowned at me. “I don’t want to go alone.”“Please.” I bit out. I knew I sounded insincere but I didn’t want her to stay down there and familiarize herself with a man like Enrico. There was a reason I kept him away from every other person in my life and it wasn’t so he could meet my pregnant wife and make friends with her.“Fine.” She retorted, sounding displeased as she grabbed the key from my hand and stomped away. I would have laughed at how cute she looked walking away angrily but this was no time for that

73. Housework
Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to be that kind of wife who didn’t give her husband privacy, but it was obvious he wasn’t friends with the Enrico guy. I hated that he was already keeping things from me as he was a transparent man. It meant whatever secret he was keeping happened to be serious. That meant I deserved to know about it, didn’t it?It was a new place we moved into and even George’s best friend, Charles didn’t know the location yet. Hell, Maya and my family didn’t know exactly where we were staying. I planned to bring them to visit to get to know the place, but that wasn’t the point.Whoever Enrico was, he was most likely powerful seeing as he was able to track down George’s location. He also knew exactly when we would be back which was why he was waiting for us in front of our building.There was also the fact that he said George was working for him. George didn’t work for anyone. He had business partners, not bosses.It unsettled me.That was probably what propelled my de

74. Light headed
Abigail Hayes~•~“You’ve been so scarce since you became a wife,” Maya commented as soon as I sat down opposite her. We had agreed to meet up at a cafe because I didn’t want to stay indoors. I’d been doing too much of that recently.I still hadn’t figured out what to do with my life after marrying George.I chuckled, rolling my eyes. “You don’t see me for two weeks and you’re already complaining?”“Give me a break. For six years, I saw you every day. It’s weird living without you.”I gave her a sympathetic smile. We’d been living together since we were eighteen, first at the dorms, then we found an apartment when we were twenty. I understood her point of view. She was very used to living with me and was suddenly living alone.But then again, “You’ve been pestering me to get married and move out so you can use my room as you like.”“I was joking.” She huffed.Even if we were the same age, she always told me to get married as soon as possible because my relationships usually lasted thr

75. Desperate
George Galanti~•~It was a boring day at work, as usual since Abby wasn’t my secretary anymore. Some days, I wondered whether I should bring her to replace my secretary and promote the current one, but she hasn’t yet decided if she still wanted to work or not.It was more than an hour before closing when my secretary suddenly called me and told me a woman was there to see me.It made me frown. If anyone wanted to see me, they had to make an appointment first and my secretary never told me to expect a visitor.My mind immediately went to Abby. She probably still had access to the private elevator and came up on her own before getting stopped by my secretary. “Did she tell you who she was?” I inquired.“She said she’s your wife.”A smile spread across my lips instinctively. I didn’t like surprises very much but if they were from Abby, I didn’t mind. In fact, I loved them. “Send her in.”“Okay, sir.” I heard her faintly ushering her in before the call was cut. When my door was pushed o

76. Headache
Abigail Hayes~•~There was a faint throbbing in my head and I could hear a distant movement as my eyelids slowly fluttered open. They closed immediately after the bright light shone against my eyes.Breathing out, I opened them again and tried to adjust to the light. I could hear people speaking around me but I couldn’t tell what they were talking about as I tried to make sense of what had happened.The ceiling I was staring at was all white. It didn’t look like my and George’s bedroom. Where was I and what the hell happened?“You’re awake!” Somebody suddenly exclaimed beside me, making me flinch. I turned slightly to see that it was Olivia, but as soon as she spoke, there were three other heads staring down at me; Maya, my mom, and my mother-in-law.I looked around. “Why am I in the hospital?”“You fainted, Abby!” Olivia didn’t hesitate to tell me. “We were all so scared for you. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now? Are you having any pain? You can tell us.”“You’re talk

77. Unsolicited therapy
Abigail Hayes~•~The last time I felt this way was in my teenage days when I lost my father.In the space of three days, I’d already gone through the five stages of grief. I was at acceptance but that was because I had no choice. The light bleeding every day after I left the hospital was proof of the fact that I lost my child and it pained me every time I had to change my pad.I was demotivated. I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t know what to do. All I did was sleep, wake up, and eat whenever George forced me to. Aside from that, I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. None of them knew what I was going through.For the three days I’d been at home, George had been by my side. He wasn’t trying to talk to me though. He knew I needed space so he gave me space. He just stayed with me to make sure I was okay, according to him, but I knew he didn’t want me to make any foolish decisions.I finally convinced him he could go back to work this morning before he left me alo

78. Null contract
Abigail Hayes~•~George and I knew enough about each other to be considered close, even before we properly got together, so his mother’s words came as a surprise to me.We’d been married for only two weeks but we were closer than ever and he never once mentioned the fact that the people who raised him weren’t his birth parents.“You adopted him?” I couldn’t help but ask. I was curious about George’s life.She nodded and had a faraway look in her eyes. “I must look too young to be the parent of a thirty-year-old.”I’d always thought that she was awfully young, but I dismissed it thinking she gave birth at an early age. His father, however, was sixty, even if he didn’t look a day over fifty.“I was twenty-two when I met my husband.” She explained. “We got married the same year we met because he didn’t want to waste too much time and lose me to other men. He always knew what he wanted. I conceived and gave birth the next year.”She said she understood the pain of losing a child but she

79. Investigations
Abigail Hayes~•~George screeched to a stop, making my eyes go wide. “We’re in the middle of the road!” I exclaimed.“Didn’t you think about that before you decided to threaten me while I was driving?”“T-threaten?” I stuttered.He pulled over to the side and unbuckled his seat belt before he turned to properly look at me. “Of course. That’s a threat. What do you mean by that? Are you saying you want to leave me?”When he put it like that, it sounded bad. I just thought we needed a little space from each other so we could clear our heads. “I didn’t say that.” I defended myself. “I was just asking. Besides, my lease hasn’t expired.”George looked offended. “So you want to go back to your apartment.”I took a deep breath. When we got together, we never expected the possibility of losing the one thing that tied us together. “I’m not leaving for good.”“You’re not leaving at all.” He concluded and I stared at him in surprise.“Are you going to force me to stay?”He stared at me and a bea

80. Regular man
Abigail Hayes~•~According to George, it was ‘bring your wife to work day’.He told me he didn’t want me to be alone at home, but I was certain it was because he wanted company. I’d thought George was doing fine, but he was just doing a great job at pretending to be fine.When I woke up at night, I saw him going through an online shop on his laptop; a shop that sold baby items. I wasn’t certain I saw clearly, but I thought I saw a tear slip down his cheeks.Unfortunately, he noticed I was awake and quickly closed the tab. I asked him if he was okay. He smiled and returned the question before we went back to sleep. I was worried but he didn’t give me the chance to ask about it so I couldn’t.George and I came to a stop in front of his secretary with his hand wrapped around my waist.“Good morning, sir.” She stood up to greet him when she saw him in front of her. “Good morning, ma’am.”Instead of returning her greetings, George said. “Take a good look at her,” he gestured to me. “She’s
